EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ruined Cities of Ceylon: Scenery of the Kandyan District" takes us on a journey through time to the enchanting landscapes of 19th-century Sri Lanka. Captured by Henry W. Cave, an explorer and photographer, this image showcases the remains of ancient cities nestled amidst lush jungle scenery. The photograph is part of Cave's renowned book "The Ruined Cities of Ceylon" where he documented his travels and discoveries in 1896. The third edition, published in 1904, featured these stunning gravure prints that brought to life the forgotten history and architectural wonders hidden within Sri Lanka's Kandyan District. As we gaze upon this image, our imagination runs wild with stories from centuries past. We can almost hear whispers carried by the wind as we envision bustling cities now reduced to ruins. Nature has reclaimed its territory, intertwining with remnants of human civilization. Cave's skillful composition transports us back in time, allowing us to witness the beauty and grandeur that once flourished in these lost cities. It serves as a reminder that even great empires eventually succumb to the passage of time. This print not only captures historical significance but also celebrates the rich cultural heritage found throughout Asia. It invites viewers to reflect on how civilizations rise and fall while nature endures eternal.
